Two long lines snaked across. The noble line stood pristine and orderly, every student maintaining perfect posture, uniforms crisp and expressions haughty. The commoner line, by contrast, was lively and energetic, though still neatly organized into three rows like disciplined soldiers. The clear division prevented overcrowding and allowed the teachers an unobstructed view during inspections.
Aiden stood tall and confident in the center row of the commoner line, radiating calm authority. To his left, in the parallel row, stood Luna, her wolf ears perked up curiously. Behind her was Nayla, with Valeforia looming possessively. Selvara followed with her usual crossed-arm, tsundere posture, and Venya brought up the rear.
To Aiden's right stood Thristle, with Lysandra behind her, followed by Arisha. Vegia shyly positioned herself behind Arisha. In Aiden's own center row, Nyxion pressed close behind him, Xylandra loomed protectively, and Zerra bounced excitedly at the back.
